Live concert reviews:
The
concert was a combination of peace, calmness and mesmerizing melodies on
black backdrop of the hall, inviting you to travel to another time and a
different world. - Jazzkaar Festival, Estonia
The music of the Mehmet Polat Trio was a cure for the soul with the sincerity and pure emotions of their songs. - Jazzkaar Festival, Estonia
Mehmet
Polat Trio was a tasty musical color spectrum, the mix of different
cultures, melodically rich. A beautiful translucence, like a relaxing
snack from Vaba Lava concerts as a change in between. - Jazzrytmit, Finland
The Middle East mixes with improvised jazz and African
elements in a move to explore and dissolve borders, while at the same
time effortlessly fusing the here and now into the crossovers. - Zinesters, Netherlands
